Made the comment to wife it looked like he has gained weight.
Lyn’ Ted is still Lyn’ Ted. Scum.
Twenty years ago, if someone were to admit to being a socialist or favor socialism over capitalism, they would've been immediately dismissed in American political circles. Alas, part of the Obama legacy has been to put a warm and fuzzy face on socialism as a legitimate economic choice in this country.
We've all seen the people who say things like, "Personally, I like to have roads and bridges to drive on, I like national parks, I like public schools and libraries--and you conservatives like your military!"
Progressives like these associate the idea of being taxed and producing some tangible benefit such as a road with socialism. Perhaps shame on us for allowing a federal DOT to grow to such a point, but this is hardly socialism.
The bottom line is, we cannot just assume that people fully understand what socialism, communism, or their differences between a capitalist, free market is. We must continue to educate, and not allow liberal Democrats to put lipstick on the socialist pig.
If life was really free, we’d all be socialists.
We know better than that but the intellectual and economic ignorance in the country is astounding.
Can Cruz convince Rand Paul?

One loser debating another fat loser, and you’re raising the issue of relevancy?
What a hoot...
Anybody notice that Cruz has gotten fat?
Would you say that about Palin? Or Mia Love? Or any of the other women who are in politics?
“Sanders is one of the pigs in Animal Farm.”
And he and his leftist ilk are wanting to make all of us Boxers.
And he and his leftist ilk are wanting to make all of us Boxers.
They are certainly trying.
Four legs good. Two legs better.
The Richer the Socialist, the more dangerous they are.
Oh pulllllleeeese.....enough of this PC junk!
I watched the uploads of this debate on YouTube, the segments with Ted Cruz anyway, and I thought Cruz did a great job.
He didn’t just articulate the colossal divide between a constitutional republic and socialism masterfully, he used charts and graphs from federal records to show how our economy surged under the Kennedy and Reagan tax cuts and plummeted under the Carter and Obama tax hikes.
He even educated everyone on the actual story of Robin Hood, who Bernie Sanders had earlier invoked to justify his position of taking from the rich. (Robin Hood actually stole from the tax collectors i.e. the government)
I thoroughly enjoyed, watching Ted Cruz, masterfully debate that old socialist and Jake Tapper and Dana Bash having to hear it as well.
